What is an article?

An Article is a piece of content usually consisting mainly of text, but may contain other resources too (for example, images). An Article is most often regarded as the third level in the hierarchy Sections -> Categories -> Articles.

For example, this website has Sections called “Help Centre” and “Info”. Within the “Help Centre” Section, the website has Categories such as “Chemical Sensitivity”, “Food Intolerance” and “Electrical Sensitivity”. In the “Chemical Sensitivity” Category are Articles called “What is Chemical Sensitivity?”, “Improve Your Health”, “Recovery”, etc.

However, it is also possible to have Uncategorised Articles that exist without being associated with any Section or Category. These are usually used for admin or technical purposes.

When creating an article, it MUST be assigned to a Section AND Category in the option fields (shown below):
